Don’t Mess With A Mom : Neha Dhupia’s Response To Publications For Commenting On Her Post Pregnancy Weight Proves This Right.

Actor Neha Dhupia, who welcomed her daughter with husband Angad Bedi in November last year, was recently trolled for her weight. The actress was shamed for her alleged weight gain post pregnancy, hitting back at those who criticised her, Neha wrote an elaborate response and said that fat shaming does not bother her as she wants to be fit and energetic for her new-born daughter, but she does want to address fat-shaming as a larger problem as it needs to stop for everyone and not just celebs. She took to Twitter and shared screenshots of the article published by the magazine with the headline, “Neha Dhupia Shocking Weight Gain Post Pregnancy”.

Neha slammed the fashion magazine for its fat-shaming article on her post-pregnancy weight gain. Neha said as a mother, she does not feel bound by the society’s beauty standards and its idea of fitness. She wrote, “I don’t owe anyone an explanation because fat-shaming like this doesn’t bother me one bit. But I do want to address this as a larger problem because fat-shaming needs to stop for EVERYONE, not just celebs. As a new mom, I want to be fit, healthy and energetic for my daughter. So I work out every day, sometimes twice a day because for me…’Fitness’ is a priority and not ‘fitting into’ society’s standards regarding looks. And I hope in the future people are kinder to each other while making such vapid and vile comments. To quote @pattonoswalt … “Be Kind. It’s chaos out there.” She also shared a beautiful picture of her on Instagram with the same caption.

Her response was immediately lauded with roaring applause from her fans and well-wishers. She found support in filmmaker Karan Johar, actor Sonam Kapoor and other Bollywood actors including Taapsee Pannu.

Karan shared the post and wrote, “Neha! You are an amazing Woman! You walk so many paths with humour…with intelligence and with abandon! It’s never about losing weight, it’s always about gaining perspective! And I hope the woman who wrote this has gained some today…”
